hi guys

i am learning lighting with directx.I coded a applicationto implement directional light.but when i changed teapot face direction from (0.0f,0.0f,1.0f) to (0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f) .there are something wrong with my application.


face = (0.0f,0.0f,1.0f)




face = (0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f)



this is partial code:



struct SF3DOBJECTSTATE
{
SF3DOBJECTSTATE():position(D3DXVECTOR3(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f)),face(0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f),up(0.0f,1.0f,0.0f),right(D3DXVECTOR3(1.0f,0.0f,0.0f))
{
material.ambient = material.diffuse = material.specular = D3DXCOLOR(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f);
}

SFMATERIAL material;
D3DXVECTOR3 position;
D3DXVECTOR3 face;
D3DXVECTOR3 up;
D3DXVECTOR3 right;
};


_SFC3DObject::_SFC3DObject(SF3DOBJECTSTATE* objectState):m_3DObjectState(*objectState)
{
m_worldMatrix(0,0) = m_3DObjectState.right.x; m_worldMatrix(0, 1) = m_3DObjectState.right.y; m_worldMatrix(0, 2) = m_3DObjectState.right.z; m_worldMatrix(0, 3) = 0.0f;
m_worldMatrix(1,0) = m_3DObjectState.up.x; m_worldMatrix(1, 1) = m_3DObjectState.up.y; m_worldMatrix(1, 2) = m_3DObjectState.up.z; m_worldMatrix(1, 3) = 0.0f;
m_worldMatrix(2,0) = m_3DObjectState.face.x; m_worldMatrix(2, 1) = m_3DObjectState.face.y; m_worldMatrix(2, 2) = m_3DObjectState.face.z; m_worldMatrix(2, 3) = 0.0f;
m_worldMatrix(3,0) = m_3DObjectState.position.x; m_worldMatrix(3, 1) = m_3DObjectState.position.y; m_worldMatrix(3, 2) = m_3DObjectState.position.z; m_worldMatrix(3, 3) = 1.0f;
}



struct SFCLIGHTSTATE
{
SFCLIGHTSTATE():ambient(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f),diffuse(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f),specular(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f){}

D3DXCOLOR ambient;
D3DXCOLOR diffuse;
D3DXCOLOR specular;
};

struct SFDIRECTIONALLIGHTSTATE
{
SFDIRECTIONALLIGHTSTATE():lightColor(),direction(0.0f,0.0f,-1.0f){}

SFCLIGHTSTATE lightColor;
D3DXVECTOR3 direction;
};




this is my effect code:



uniform extern float4x4 gWorld;
uniform extern float4x4 gWorldInverseTranspose;
uniform extern float4x4 gWVP;

uniform extern float4 gAmbientMtrl;
uniform extern float4 gAmbientLight;
uniform extern float4 gDiffuseMtrl;
uniform extern float4 gDiffuseLight;
uniform extern float4 gSpecularMtrl;
uniform extern float4 gSpecularLight;
uniform extern float gSpecularPower;
uniform extern float3 gLightVecW;
uniform extern float3 gEyePosW;

struct OutputVS
{
float4 posH : POSITION0;
float4 color : COLOR0;
};

OutputVS AmbientDiffuseSpecVS(float3 posL : POSITION0, float3 normalL : NORMAL0)
{
// Zero out our output.
OutputVS outVS = (OutputVS)0;

// Transform normal to world space.
float3 normalW = mul(float4(normalL, 0.0f), gWorldInverseTranspose).xyz;
normalW = normalize(normalW);

// Transform vertex position to world space.
float3 posW = mul(float4(posL, 1.0f), gWorld).xyz;

//=======================================================
// Compute the color: Equation 10.3.

// Compute the vector from the vertex to the eye position.
float3 toEye = normalize(gEyePosW - posW);

// Compute the reflection vector.
float3 r = reflect(-gLightVecW, normalW);

// Determine how much (if any) specular light makes it into the eye.
float t = pow(max(dot(r, toEye), 0.0f), gSpecularPower);

// Determine the diffuse light intensity that strikes the vertex.
float s = max(dot(gLightVecW, normalW), 0.0f);

// Compute the ambient, diffuse and specular terms separatly.
float3 spec = t*(gSpecularMtrl*gSpecularLight).rgb;
float3 diffuse = s*(gDiffuseMtrl*gDiffuseLight).rgb;
float3 ambient = gAmbientMtrl*gAmbientLight;

// Sum all the terms together and copy over the diffuse alpha.
outVS.color.rgb = ambient + diffuse + spec;
outVS.color.a = gDiffuseMtrl.a;
//=======================================================

// Transform to homogeneous clip space.
outVS.posH = mul(float4(posL, 1.0f), gWVP);

// Done--return the output.
return outVS;
}

float4 AmbientDiffuseSpecPS(float4 c : COLOR0) : COLOR
{
return c;
}

technique AmbientDiffuseSpecTech
{
pass P0
{
// Specify the vertex and pixel shader associated with this pass.
vertexShader = compile vs_2_0 AmbientDiffuseSpecVS();
pixelShader = compile ps_2_0 AmbientDiffuseSpecPS();
}
}



any help is appreciated

sorry about posting same Topic .But i dont know how to delete it.

What is the problem? It looks to me like your moving the teapot to face the negative Z direction and it's getting farther away from the light.
